How about that a two headed chicken, head at each end, probably to watch out for cars when crossing the street.

I went into lockdown today. Dh was headed out the door to work, when he told me to come check the incubator. He was pretty sure he didn't bump the table the incubator was on, but maybe he did, because the eggs were rocking a little. As we were looking, 1 pipped through the shell. Yes, the eggs are rocking, but he didn't bump the table.

You need to wait until it is late summer to get a coat in the women's section. Clothes are a season off which is weird!

First time we went to Florida on vacation DW bought all the kids winter coats for $5 each, normally $50+ here. Why Florida had winter coats IDK? And why we would drive a two thousand mile+ round trip with a pile of coats
DW shops yr round, online and stores for school clothes. Unbelievable the sales she finds, Christmas toys and such also. Spends a fraction of the cost. Sometimes ridiculously cheap, do you know they ain't losing $. $85 toy for $12, probably only cost them $6, rest extreme profit. IDK

So I went out tonight to lock up and all of the roosters found their way to their coop while next door, the bantam pullets and two juvenile cockerels were wandering around outside crying their little hearts out unable to figure out where they were supposed to bed down for the night even though all the standard hens and 4 of the bantams were on the roosts. After spending 15 minutes chasing them around the run (like trying to herd cats in a lightening storm) I got the brilliant idea to turn on the light inside the coop. 5 immediately hopped inside leaving two idiot children (sometimes I swear that if these little creatures were children they would be sitting in the driveway eating dirt and chewing on rocks) trying to stick their heads through the chicken wire and now screaming their heads off trying to get into the rooster pen.I managed to catch them and stuff them through the pop door before slamming it closed and hoping nobody was trying to get back out at the same time.

I threw a few yards of black satin cloth I had on hand over Doc. Hopefully he will hold off till a more decent hour before he starts crowing at the top of his lungs in the morning. His face and eye continue to improve. DH had me flush his eye out with REFRESH eye moisturizer tonight and coat it with antibiotic salve but he was actually able to open it a tad tonight. Hopefully I can start reducing the Terramycin boluses I've been shooting down his throat to once a day tomorrow and get him back with the boys if the swelling continues to decrease. Primo, my cyanotic rooster continues to be well, cyanotic but looks pretty happy or as happy as he can be in a bachelor pad.

Have I mentioned that I really really REALLY hate Marek's disease?

Love the pics, Alaskan. I'm looking at them and thinking, whow, they are wearing winter gear while we are hanging out in summer shorts and tank tops. Then it dawns on me, spring in Alaska! What a concept!
